Assignment:
Managers at Manage Your Health, Inc. (MYH) selected Tony Prince as the project manager for the Recreation and Wellness Intranet Project. The schedule goal is six months, and the budget is $200,000. Tony had previous project management and systems analysis experience within the company, and he was an avid sports enthusiast. Tony was starting to put the project team together. Tony knew he would have to develop a survey to solicit input from all employees about this new system and make sure it was very user-friendly.
Recall from Chapter 4 that this application would include the following capabilities:
• Allow employees to register for company-sponsored recreational Programs, such as soccer, softball, bowling, jogging, walking, and other sports.
• Allow employees to register for company-sponsored classes and programs to help them manage their weight, reduce stress, stop smoking, and manage other health-related issues.
• Track data on employee involvement in these recreational and health-management programs.
• Offer incentives for people to join the programs and do well in them (e.g., incentives for achieving weight goals, winning sports team competitions, etc.).
• Assume that MYH would not need to purchase any additional hardware or software for the project.
